Small deal for Keyon Dooling or Carlos Arroyo

The Pacers have a trade exception left I think, and might be able to pull a deal like this:

Orlando sends Keyon Dooling (or Arroyo if you prefer) to Indiana

Indiana sends Andrew Betts and cash and TE to Orlando.

Why does Orlando do this? They are trying to clear cap room to re-sign Darko Milecic, and this clears one these guys off their books.

Why does Indiana do it? We get a back up point guard who is an upgrade for us without giving up anything. I personally like both these players....Ilike Arroyo's flair and offensive game, and I like Doolings youth and defensive ability. Both these guys each have an expiring contract as well, which can help in the future moves we choose to make, if we make any.

Re: Small deal for Keyon Dooling or Carlos Arroyo

why would orlando do that? take on murphy's contract when they just extended howard and signed lewis?

seems like the magic want to turn their expiring contracts (arroyo, dooling, garrity) into another useful piece to add to their core. their obvious targets would be near luxury tax teams with overpaid players. think cavs with larry hughes, or pacers with murphy.

i'm not really sure whether they would take murph and his 4 years left, but i do believe he is the kind of player they're realistically targeting.
